Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0022438A1] 1. Process for detecting aerosols in air situated in a test zone, wherein, in a first step, a photosensitive element (122) which monitors the test zone (14) is illuminated in order that it may be biased and supply an electrical voltage signal and, immediately after termination of the first step, in a second step, the test zone (14) is illuminated, any aerosol present in the test zone reflecting light towards the photosensitive element (122), characterized in that in a third step, the duration, dependent upon the presence of aerosol in the test zone, of the trailling edge of the electrical voltage signal is measured after termination of the first step and simultaneously with the second step, and that an alarm is set off when the measured duration of the trailling edge of the electrical voltage signal exceeds a certain value.
